To me the most interesting bit was White going to see Emmitt Williams work out. I was wondering if UF was still in on him.

I think we are, but it comes down to if we will have room....which I think we will

What made me wonder was:
1. Castleton visiting last weekend with Williams not having publicly set a visit.
2. The 247 crystal ball tilting so much to Oregon.

I've also seen tonight that
1. Castleton cancelled his Purdue visit after his official here then in homes with Illinois and Michigan
2. Castleton may commit in the next week or so...to who is a guess imo
3. We still have a good shot at Williams

Thanks for the update. Now if you have a good idea of the guard pecking order and which guards are 1s and which are 2s.

Devoe is rumored to be comitting before he visits here (probably won't be to us)
Dotson is a high likelihood to be a Gator
Weaver is as well...but he may end up being a 2 guard/combo guard
Moore is all Gator from what I have seem, but we will see
My bet right now:
Dotson
Weaver
Moore
Williams/Castleton (assuming we get another scholarship free)

That would be my bet too. My order would be:
1. Dotson
2/3. Moore and Williams/Castleton
4. Weaver
but from what I have read the staff wants a PG, SG, SF and then maybe a PF. I would hate not to get a true big in this class.

What did you get from that:
1. David Duke is visiting this weekend which I think we knew.
2. Castleton did not get an offer on his visit. The thread said out, but the post UF visit article did not say that.
Was there anything else that I missed? Devoe is committing to someone other than UF this weekend, probably GaTech.

Top 3 for Williams, Oregon-Florida-Duke with anyone being best guess right now
Going hardest for Dotson and Moore at the moment
Going for more guards then big men at the moment as well
Most we knew just thought I'd post the link just in case something was added that we didn't know

Three new crystal ball predictions on 247 of Anferernee Simons to UF. Boy this is going to be a wild ride to signing day now.

The real issue for schools interested in such players is are they eligible to play college basketball or are they pros? If your family has received six figures in cash you probably are not eligible and it might be beyond your ability to repay.
During periods of economic uncertainty there is what is known as a flight to quality, ie from the stock markets to maybe the bond markets and certainly cash assets. If I were a 2018 recruit right now with this uncertainty, I would be considering a similar flight to a quality program.

Looks like our recruiting will be skyrocketing this season!!!!!
Dotson
Simons
Moore
Williams
Weaver
All in play...all with a better than 50% chance of landing at the moment

My guess is if you can get and decides to take Simons that Weaver and maybe Nembard squeezed out. I can not see UF taking more than one SG? It also could be that if Nembhard is a real PG he is the fall back for Dotson. I know nothing about Moore except most that have predicted say UF. Williams might well decide that Oregon is too risky.
This whole deal has come at an almost ideal time for UF. There is not enough time for "risky" school whoever they might be to reassure a prospect that nothing will happen at there place.

From the looks of Simmons tape, he's a pg. I know he's listed as a combo guard though. I wonder if there's any truth to him and uf and how it would impact our chances with Dotson.
